Tai's second 1st birthday party

Scott, where'd the little fire on the candle go?

Tai extended his partying ways for another month so that he could have a good time with his relatives in LA and let them join in the fun. Thus, a second 1st birthday party for Tai, this time at his grandparents' house!

Okay, now this candle makes sense!

Tai got a tub full of presents that he plays with all the time and several cool outfits, including his first Dodgers onesies. (Do you see the baseball theme?) But more than that, we're happy that the family is getting to know Tai, and that one day he'll get to know them too.

The changes in Tai's life happen daily. He's now standing, but afraid to take steps on his own. He sleeps through the night, but gets up at 6 a.m. or so. He'll eat just about anything, which is mostly a good thing. Except when he eats long noodles and hard tofu and other things he can't break down with his two little teeth. Fortunately, the food at Benihana was fine and fascinating!
